Re: The United States needs to also ban hunting. People need to love all animals and go vegan

Well as an animal activist , Bald Eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, wolves are suppose to be but they are now permitted to hunt and kill them in certain states ...not only do they cowardly shoot them from planes, they toss poison in their dens and many times the babies are left to die. Gray wolves in Wyoming lost their Endangered Species Act leaving them to unregulated killing in most of the state.

I see nothing wrong with hunting for food as long as it is NEEDED and as long as the animal does not suffer.

There are many species that are protected and should not be hunted or killed.

Please remember to clean up after your mess hunters because if you've never seen a Bald Eagle suffer a horrible painful death from lead poisoning, you don't want too. It's not pretty. Clean up your fishing lines too because they do serious damage to animals.

Watch Earthlings and learn how badly animals are being treated for food , their fur and entertainment.

Bieng an avid hunter I uld have to disagree with the op. Some people live in a fairytail world and I guess they prefer it as such. A responcible hunter actually contributes more to nature than he takes away. I maintain food plots for all local wild life year round by setting out corn, clover patches, oats and mineral licks that not only feed the deer but also birds, turkey, boar, squirrels and basically everything else that comes along. Of course I do set these things out to keep game in the area for when I hunt but I also do it to encourage a healthy growing population of wildlife. it is an misconception and a stereotype to assume that all hunters walk around killing everything they see. I, along with every other hunter I know tend to skip over young deer and females to ensure population stays in a trend that maintains healthy numbers. Also, most hunters actually love nature believe it or not. We tend to not break limbs, stomp bushes, burn forests or make roads through the woods regardless of what some dumbasses would have you believe. I do not see nothing wrong with hunting for food or sport if you donate the meat and observe the laws of man and nature. Trust me when I say that the last thing a poacher wants to happen is to be caught in the woods killing shit just for the horns or skin by a group of real hunters. They probably would not be walking away. Also, to all of you screaming that we should all go vegan, do you have any idea how much your lettuce and pranut butter would increase in price if that happend.

I agree with you op. The more that people become spiritually awakened, the more they find that eating animal flesh is too dense, and does not agree with them. There are so many reasons not to eat animals, including: super bugs, environmental run off, waste of resources, health and compassion.

You guys are worried about the deer overpopulating your area? While we have over 7,000,000,000 people on the planet?

Maybe if we didnt have to put roads and cities and power plants up everywhere we can fit them, the animals would not be getting in OUR way so much?

You build your roads and drive your cars through the woods, where animals live, and then you have to go out and hunt the animals so you dont hit them with your cars? And thats a "MAN's job" Give me a break.

We are the overpopulated ones and we are the ones that are taking animals homes away.

I hope that if the population is reduced by 90% that its going to be the assholes with logic like yours that end up dead first.

Numbnutz, the math was already done here...

You can put 7 billion people on a landmass the size of TEXAS, leaving everything else on Earth empty of human life.

Ditto, Heisenberg.

OP- I agree that trophy hunting is pretty disgusting, but there are people who hunt for meat to feed their families. I'm sure many of those same families garden as well to get fresh fruits and veggies. Just because a vegitarian lifestyle works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone.

the world would be more peaceful

Will you be peaceful and happy watching deer starve from lack of food in the winter months and disease from overcrowding during the summer months. Do you understand why they have cracked down on feeding deer at any location it is due to too many deer in one place if not look up Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (Mad Cow Disease)?

Depending upon where you live would an over population of hungry bears roaming your backyard make you feel peaceful and happy. How about coyotes running rampant in your backyards where your young children play would that make you feel warm and fuzzy watching them being dragged off and do you believe rabies will magically go away.
